Severe pulmonary regurgitation mimicking constrictive pericarditis: a case report-the sac or the content? That is the question.
TL;DR: It is important to recognize the diagnostic pitfall in the preoperative evaluation of a ‘CP mimic physiology’, as prominent dilation of the right-sided chambers caused by severe PR resulted in overstretching of the pericardium above the perICardial reserve, which led to a characteristic haemodynamic picture that resembled CP.
Ventricular tachycardia based on cardiac sarcoidosis with a narrow QRS complex, ablated on the left ventricle free-wall.
TL;DR: In this article, a septuagenarian female with cardiac sarcoidosis suffered from drug refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) requiring multiple implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks.
